My Teacher

As a result of their pleasure I had to be born as their treasure Young and well raised Loved and praised Little did I know I was in a classroom That was never ending Always mind-bending Everyday faced new lessons Harsh........ Pleasant But all in all it was my teachers duty To plan my life timetable Trying to make me stable Sober in mind Inorder to be kind As my age escalated I became curious and elated I had a taste of Eve's species And understood the treacherous nature of our fusion All through in my confusion My teacher looked and watched As I licked my wounds of betrayal in pain More of shame I then fell in love with a plant I know, it sounds like a rant But I was trying to be a truant To avoid this lesson Only to realise reality is too real Noone seemed to understand me..... Hey! I wasn't created to be understood Noone seemed to care..... The only care I know comes from above I wondered if everyone else was in my class What could they pass? How could they pass? Because my teacher is different More of a radical Somewhat comical! I always begged for a day off But I was told I cant miss even a day in this school Unless I die Which I did not want to try I never received academic honours Yet in my soul the knowledge is immense Ahaaar! Intense I did not covet other teachers Because mine was given till death do us part Today I choose this path Because a path I was shown Drawn from both good and bad But glad to have reached this far To stir good always To be a star in reality of life It is weird because I have never seen my teacher I have never touched All I do is fall in the hands And face its demands But this teachings I feel All I do is kneel In my own resilience I had a calling from experience Best teacher!
